out at $0.6614 before drifting back toward 0.6590 ahead of the European
crossover. US-China trade headlines expected to drive risk today with
channel-top resistance so far capping topside gains at $0.6618. Above here opens

May 7 high. While on the downside a break of $0.6570/75, opens a return to
yesterday's RBNZ react lows of $0.6527.
